A free & easy to use app, Dragon Dictation is a voice recognition application. Speak easily into the device’s microphone & instantly see your text. A quick way to dictate thoughts for a story, or to jot down a recap over a topic discussed in class. This application allows users to share recordings via text message, email, or copy & paste it into a note or document. There is also an editing feature that provides a list of suggested words, just in case Dragon couldn’t hear over a loud background noise.

An app we like to use for our speech & language groups is called Make Dice. Make Dice allows a user to customize words/messages on all sides of a die, then roll the die by simply shaking the iPad/iPod or pressing a button. The user can create/use one to multiple dice needed for a given activity. Dice & table color can also be altered to differentiate between activities. The speech-language pathologists like to use it to work on: Vocabulary, Prepositions, Antonyms, Synonyms, Plurals/Irregular Plurals, Adjectives, Combining Words into grammatically correct sentences & of course Articulation! (free/$2.99)
